CURRENT MISSION

To travel around the world, meet new people and to share experiences

ABOUT ME

I am currently a graduate student doing a degree in international relations/education.
I believe that since we only have one life that we should make the most of it and try to live a life where we can look back and have little to no regrets. I am a free spirit with an open mind and a love for adventure. I love making friends in new places and meeting new people who like to stray off the beaten path. I am friendly, outgoing and have a serious case of wanderlust.

Some say that my mind is always in the clouds while others accuse me of having the mind of a 40 year old women when it comes to discussing existential topics.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live life to the fullest"
"the more the merrier"
The world is a treasure to be explored
I don't know there is a whole list-my life is my philosophy- so I guess you'll just have to hear it all in person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because it is a great way to meet new people, form connections and to really get a feel for a place and to get to see the less touristy side . It's a great community of trust and exchange where people open up their homes out of kindness and take the time to show you(or at least tell you about) all the cool local places, recommend more interesting activities or tell you what is worth seeing and what isn't. They introduce you to their country, culture and to all the things that you may not have found on your own.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I go to couch surfing events, I host, and am interested in meeting up with fellow couch surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
